from t4e crowd. Mr.. Dillon then ad-
lyl2ed the people, advising them to treat
lie police with silent contempt, because
Home Rule was nearly won, ami when it
became an established fact the Irish forces
would be under control of the people i'll
stead OF their enemies. The speech of Mr..
Dillon had little effect upon the exasper-
ated crowd, and the conflict between them
and the police was shortly afterward re-
newed, the police being driven into their
barracks.
From this point OF vantage the police
fired into the crowd, killing one man in
stantly, fatally wounding another who has
since died, and severely injuring several
Others. Taking advantage of the demor-
alizing effect of their fire, the police sal
lied forth from the barracks, and charged
upon the mob with fixed bayonets. This
was more than the crowd could stand, and
they hastily dispersed. A number of po-
lice were injured.
The police at MitchelstOwu assert that
the trouble there yesterday was due to the
Nationalist leaders shouting to the mob to
hold together.
The town is comparatively quiet to-day,
and people are standing about in knots dis
cussing yesterdays tragedy.
The NatiOnalists are eXultant Orer the
good fight they made. A Tipperary boy
broke through a square composed of twelve
policemen and fought them single-handed.
The police finally overpowerel him, but
the mob made rush and rescued him from
his captors.

majority of them wore bandages over the

EXCITEMENT IN PARLIAMENT.
In the House of Commons to-day, Mr..
John c. Gibson, Solicitor General for Ire
land, in reply to an interrogatOry by Mr..
Sexton, said that the Government did not
have sufficient information to make state
ment in relation to the troubleat Nitchels-
town yesterday.
Upon receiving this answer to his ques-
tion Mr. Sexton said:
"I shall resist any progress of the ApprO-
priation bill until the Government gives

whip to their supporters TO attend the sit

COMMENTS or THE PRESS.
The NelrS to-day says: Coercion was
not long in bearing its bitterest fruits.
The Government to provoke blOOdshed IN
Ireland. Blood has been shed in perfect
wsntonness, and butchery is its most re-
voting feature"
The Post says the MitchelstOwn affair
shows the necessity for the full application
OF the Crimes Act TO prevent such meet
ings altogether.
The Times says the blood of the Mltchels-
town victims is on the heads of Messrs
OBrien, Dayitt and Labouchere, whose
iuflamatory and cynical language drove
men against the muzzles Of rifles. This
teaches the people that although their
leaders have amusement and profit, the
people pay for it with their skins.
The Standard hopes that the spectacle
at Mitchelstown will convince MeSsrs. La
bouchere and Brunner Of the goal whereto
their steps tend, before it is too late, or
they will be held guilty for the suffering
which otherwise ensues.
The Pal NqH Gazette says that the
memory Of the old man RiOrdan lying
dead in the market place at AitchelstOwn,
his gray hair matted with blood, will
haunt both nations for many days to come.
